Absolutely. I am not sure how practical it is, however. The higher we go, especially in dry air, the more likely the frozen precipitation will sublimate before it becomes a liquid or if it warms, evaporates before it hits the ground. We also have the problem of generally much higher wind...

Is it not already defined? Homeostasis. The limits to osmosis isn't assumed to be the elasticity necessarily. I am not a biologist, but in my first year university we shared common courses. Osmoregulation -osmoconformers and osmoregulators. You need to look here i believe -if they still call...

I will also add, cloud seeding, while possibly important in some areas, poses an ethical question in some geographic regions. Towards the poles, particularly in very cold weather (<40C), we see a temperature rise that is remarkable and is most drastic with low cloud. What happens here is the...

At -45C or colder, especially in relatively still air (no matter how you cut it, the air can hold very little moisture here), we can easily cloud seed by boiling a pot of water, throwing it up into the air... The liquid vaporizes with a loud hiss into tiny droplets that remain super cooled for a...

As a long time weather observer in polar climes, and an aviation weather qa specialist, i would add that the etages are not a fixed thing, per say. They do compress (lower) towards the poles. For example, you may find what looks like stereotypical CI (cirrus) at 150 AGL at the poles, or AC...

Hawking Radiation is clever, but I want to pose a hypothetical scenario without. I knew this was the fist thing that would haunt, it is the thorn in the side -a universe eventually dominated by Hawking's clever notion. For now, let's leave this out and assess. I know this will lead to me being a...

If we pose a hypothetical universe end-state very cold, where only very low energy photons are left. Could these photons undergo a phase transition into something like a BEC? Would they gain invariant mass if they did (become a condensate) Could someone show why this would/would not happen...

Thank you!

Hello folks, my name is Cory Buott and while I am a only a physics undergrad, I have been interested in and passionate about physics my whole life. Initially, my focus was wave-particle duality, but this was at a time when the standard model was not the standard model. My interest now lays in...
